My new boss asked me " where do you see yourself in 5 years? "
I did not need to think about it. I told her , " In 5 years I will see my son and daughter graduate high school, and see my youngest go into the 5th grade."
Thats it.
She looked at me and said ," Thats nice. "
Now that I am sitting here and thinking...THATS NOT ME!!
Where will I BE IN 5 YEARS? ME! ME! ME! I am always doing that.
I put my children first then comes the hubby, then my Mom, Step-dad and Sister, after that is the rest of the family and close friends. WHERE IS ME??? where do I come in... I really don't know.
What do I want out of life?
To see my children happy, with there own family and in a good career.
I do really want this. Deep down all I can see is my children. I can't see me. I tell me children at times " Theres so much in life for you to be...and so much to see,... your heavons gift to me."
but...what about me?
Why can't I see something about me. Where will I be in 5 years? or 10 or 15 or even 20? Still in the same job...or a new one? Still in this home or a new one? Who will no longer be in my life who is now in it?
Here is what I think.
Take each day as a new. Handel things as they come. Its never an endding but a beginning of a new point, give thanks to where thanks are due and always put love first.
My children are my love...they come first.
Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
What do you want out of life? And who will/will not be in your life?
